Jeremy Doku completes £55.5m move from Rennes to Manchester City; the 21-year-old is seen as a replacement for Riyad Mahrez; West Ham had bid rejected by Rennes earlier this month for Doku; Belgium international becomes Citys third summer signing to take spending to £163.1m
"Doku is absolutely rapid and beats players for fun. His stats in terms of goals and assists maybe aren't where they could be but under a coach like Pep Guardiola you assume they will only get better. He has almost limitless potential."He's a different kind of attacking player that Guardiola has at his disposal as he's very quick and is a bit of a throwback winger. He can play on the left and on the right, where he is likely to feature more often for City.
"As a predominantly right-footed player he's not someone who would then cut in field. He's more about beating a full-back on the outside an getting to the byline to provide he cut-backs. He's bring a pace, a directness and a dribbling ability that City don't have in their squad currently."
